科學(xué)家將這種現(xiàn)象稱為疏忽性耳聾——當(dāng)我們大腦的注意力集中在別的東西上時(shí)，我們天生傾向于忽略其它聲音的存在。在我們的日常生活中，這種現(xiàn)象很常見。

The researchers believe this shows that humans' sense of hearing and vision relies on the same neural resources, which are limited and may only be available to one type of task at a time.
研究人員們認(rèn)為，這表明人類的聽覺和視覺依靠相同的神經(jīng)資源進(jìn)行處理，神經(jīng)資源有限，也許一次只能完成一種任務(wù)。
